A global pandemic. Social distancing. Masks. During a year when many people have felt more disconnected than ever, the National Funeral Directors Association (NFDA) is saying “Let’s reconnect!” during the 2020 Virtual International Convention & Expo, October 20-22.

Chris Christian Bea Lewanduski have been elected to serve as at-large representatives on the association's Board of Directors. They will begin two-year terms of service immediately following the 2020 NFDA Virtual International Convention & Expo.

More than half of funeral directors have experienced increased cremation rates due to the coronavirus pandemic, according to the 2020 NFDA Cremation and Burial Report.
